Since Clive isn't Shiva's Dominant, he will not be able to transform into Shiva but instead gain access to her Ice-based attacks after obtaining her essence.
After acquiring Shiva, this Eikon's abilities will be unlocked in the Abilities menu and be available for upgrade. You can then equip them to Clive and use her attacks in combat.
Shiva is the Eikon of Ice inherited by the dominant, Jill, from the Grand Duchy of Rosia. Formerly from the northern territories she was taken from her home to Rosia and was raised along side Clive and Joshua.
Gameplay shown on livestreams and trailers show Clive using Shiva's Ice abilities which could mean he inherits it later on in the story.
